MY LIFE: an update

Saturday, Dar and I went for a brief but enjoyable hike in the gorge. :D There was an epic barn and lots of pretty wildflowers. I will eventually remember to post pictures.

And then there was fail, because I lost my cell phone. Woe. That thing was ancient and so very durable.

On Tuesday, I went to sponsor Wayne's house so he could sign my NAFA (North American Falconer's Association) application, and pick up a bunch of falconry magazines. And I learned that Sinker would, the next morning, be departing for New Hampshire. Yes, sob, no more silly little hybrid. He is going to live with a falconer up there who will use him for educational purposes, which I think is best for him at this point, given his bad eye and tendency toward seizures. He's a very sweet guy, and will do well in education, I'm sure.

Got home to find my mom and dad with my dog Lucy, who was having a seizure, speaking of. :( She's getting on toward the end of her life, and I guess this was just one more sign. We took her to the emergency animal clinic and she stayed there overnight. They did a blood test and couldn't find anything immediately wrong, so it's hard to say what caused it, but my unprofessional opinion is that it's just old age, basically. She's okay now, although her back legs are really weak and she seems to have lost most of the vision in her right eye. So. I don't know.

And then today, I finally got out and got a new cell phone. Same number and all, but I need you guys who have my number to call me so I can add you to my address book. Just do it after 9 PM PDT, if you can. Free minutes and all. It's basically the latest version of my old phone, so that's good. Thing lasted me ages so hopefully this one will too. I need to figure out what my new phone ornament will be, since Armor!Al is probably off on the Tom McCall Preserve somewhere. Or perhaps in that pasture where we jumped the fence to go look at the epic barn.
